SantSarwan DassModel School, Hadiabad, Phagwara, India.

Education is must to All.

The school draws its inspiration form Sant Sarwan Dass Ji. He is widely known among his disciples for his keenness for the upliftment of the downtrodden. Sant Sarwan Dass Ji envisaged a great awakening and empowerment of human beings through education. Therefore he laid a great stress on the education of children. He firmly believed that those parents who do not care for the education of their children are their greatest enemies. He translated this idea in practice in his own life by collecting children from adjoining villages in his “Kutiya” (hut) and teaching them, providing them with all facilities and incentives. He opened an informal primary school within the premises of the Dera. He taught the poor children Punjabi and trained them in reciting Gurbani (Sacred text of Guru Granth Sahib) correctly. He used to feed them with rice pudding and sweet bread on every Sunday. There is a general belief among the followers of Dera Ballan that whosoever was taught by Sant Sarwan Dass Ji became an officer in Government service. All the chiefs of the Dera who followed him made concerted efforts towards the fulfillment of these vital concerns for the upliftment of the downtrodden.

The present Gaddi-Nashin (spiritual leader) Sant Niranjan Dass Ji decided to have a school dedicated to the memory of Sant Sarwan Dass Ji and he laid the foundation stone of Sant Sarwan Dass Model School at Hadiabad, Phagwara on 16th April 2002.
